Look at you all grown up. Your first birthday. Well, at least, as far as the United States is concerned. We know you leaked out a test tube a little earlier than that. Oh, by the way, that wasn't a nice thing---telling people you got here because of infected bats and dogs. What did those animals ever do to you?
But you certainly had an active first year. Taking down whole countries like Italy and England. And thanks to some tourist, you were also able to hop into some luggage and make the trip all across the big ocean and visit America.
You certainly made your presence known, especially with some of our senior citizens. If you didn't like them, you could have simply avoided them. You didn't have to go through the trouble of killing them. But that's what a learning curve is all about. I mean, if you wanted to make yourself known among people over the age of 75, you could have asked us for a list of possible candidates to visit. We were really hoping you would go make a call on folks like Nancy Pelosi and Maxine Waters.
But you didn't think ahead. Maybe some of those variant brothers and sisters of yours can take care of the ones you should have visited and missed. You clearly had your eye on some other mayhem. Like closing restaurants and theaters and stores and economies. You showed up and lots of people lost their jobs. And kids had to go to school on-line. By the way, a bunch of us figure you bought shares in ZOOM ahead of time. Come on, you little rascal. You did, didn't you?
And while we're at it, I bet you have some friends at Amazon because that's really the only business that benefited from your trip around the world. Yep, you had an amazing first year.
Usually, viruses like you don't last longer than three or four years. But, some enterprising drug companies apparently really don't like you because they've already invented some vaccines to make sure we don't have to send you a second birthday card.
Enjoy your celebration. For now.
Dinner last night: Salad.
